is true. Certainly before Askia introduced a militant and intolerant version of Islam the previous
Songhai rulers, Muslim and other, had been tolerant of diverse religious beliefs (in fact, for some reason unmentioned in this article, but according to ancient Arabic accounts true, Za Alayaman, the legendary founder of the Za dynasty to which the Songkai trace their empire, was Jewish, led and settled a Yemenite Jewish community in the region, and allowed all manner of religious beliefs amongst the people). But Askia broke with all that, and was very intolerant. It is just a matter of historical fact, for example, that Askia decreed that all Jews, along with at least some others in the region, perhaps non-monotheistic traditional pagans, had to convert to Islam, die, or leave. For example, one reads in the Knowledge (XXG) article "History of the Jews of Africa": "In 1492, Askia Muhammed came to power in the previously tolerant region of Timbuktu and decreed that Jews must convert to Islam or leave; Judaism became illegal in Mali, as it did in Catholic Spain that same year. As the historian Leo Africanus wrote in 1526: "The king (Askia) is a declared enemy of the Jews. He will not allow any to live in the city. If he hears it said that a Berber merchant frequents them or does business with them, he confiscates his goods." Although other extracts from Leo Africanus are not cited in this particular article, he also wrote about a massacre of Jews in Garura and looting of their properties under Askia, in 1492, which is quoted in the Knowledge (XXG) article "Jews of Bilad el-Sudan." So it is evident that Askia is no paragon of ethical leadership, and he set an ominously bad model for future cultural relations in West Africa. For the sake of honesty and scholarly integrity, the entry on Askia should be changed to match the historical record, and the sources I just mentioned should be included in the account. I am just a visitor here, so I will leave it to the more dedicated editors to bring up the standard of this article.

briefly (they were in Manden for less than a year before they got chased out). They just couldn't seem to hold onto anything very long. The Mali Empire on the other hand didn't loose any of its possessions until over 100 years after it began (starting with
Songhai). It was at its greatest extent at about 1300 and stayed roughly the same size until 1375. Even after loosing the Songhai and Jolof provinces, Mali was still humongous (1 million sq ki) and pretty darn wealthy. I promise to stop yapping about Mali (i know this is the Songhai page, lol) but it also left a huge cultural influence. About half of West African countries speak some form of Mandinka today as their lingua franca. Songhai is pretty much confined to areas around the Niger bend. In short, Mali is like the black Roman Empire and Songhai seems more like their Visigoth/Ostrogoth counterparts. They conquered alot but didn't leave much behind. The Songhai did manage to conquer the Hausa (no small feat) and scare the Mossi into staying put (something Mali never managed to do). The Mandinka however would never have been conquered by Moroccans or used silly battle tactics like herds of cattle, lol.
1210:"The emperor was the strategist and commander-in-chief of the military, but the balama acted as minister of defence and general. The janky was the army corps general, and the wonky were lieutenants in charge of a garrison. The head of the mounted archers was called the tongue farma. The hike was second in the chain of command of the empire and served as its interior minister. He was assisted by two vice-admirals at the ports of Kabara and Ayourou and commanded over a thousand captains, ensuring the rapid movement of troops along the Niger River. Sonni Ali established a landing port in Oualata, connecting it to the port in Kabara. Only the Malian portion remains; the rest, which continues to Oualata, was buried by the Sahara following the empire's fall.

long-term control of the region, and I have been unable to find any sources that provide evidence for their control extending all the way to the coast. Additionally, the latter map shows Koumbi Saleh in the territory of
Songhai, but my understanding is that Koumbi Saleh was no longer occupied by that time so it probably shouldn't be included in the map. Do these maps need to be revised or could somebody find sources to support those boundaries for the Songhai Empire?

eclipsed just about every Africa empire in history for about a decade. I think Mali was the greatest for the longest period of time. Its common people were wealthier than commoners in most parts of the world. And the constitution they made and preserved is a big plus. In the end, I think the ultimate way to figure out how great a state is (or was) is to count how many great rulers it had.

Songhai until it was no more. The fact that the
Songhai Empire continued to flourish in the Dendi province doesn't mean it should be called Dendi Kingdom if most historical books did not explicitly call it Dendi Kingdom but a Songhai Empire in the Dendi province with a smaller territory with the same Askia Dynasty as its rulers.

Is this a 'normal practice' in the Muslim world? While the survival of pre-Muslim religions is common in many Muslim-majority countries persection and repression of non-Muslim, particularly non-Book religions, is also common. Maybe the phrase could be replaced by something like 'traditional animist

Secondly, most historical books referred to the Dendi

This section is obviously written by myth-makers wishing to turn Askia into an
Islamic paragon and hero. The actual Askia was not so nice a guy. For example, the section constantly praises Askia for his supposed "tolerance," that he did not force Islam on anyone. This is false. In fact, the opposite

1252:
Where does this name come from? "Songhai" is definitely *not* a "transliteration" of it ("Songhai" in fact comes from the name of the clan of the rulers of the empire.) As far as I can make out, "Zaghai" is a concocted "origin" of this name intended to imply that the
Songhai founders were of Berber

depict the
Songhai Empire as extending into the Mande heartland and to the coast between the Casamance and Gambia Rivers. However, as far as I can tell from written sources, it did not control either region. The Songhai did apparently sack the capital of the Mali Empire in 1545 but did not have any

I really despise the

as "the last ruler of the

I'll take a diet Coke. :) You are doing a great job. But wasn't it (Songnai) the greatest empire at one time, at least? I guess it doesn't count because it didn't last as long and didn't leave anything behind like the Mali, even though they beat them up for a minute there? lol. Thanks for all your

Hi, Jeeny. Yeah I'm glad someone else noticed the Sonni/sunni thing. I've made changes where I could and even started a Sonni dynasty page to go along. i'll add sources ASAP. I'd have to argue against Songhai being better or even bigger than Mali. Songhai expanded to some far out places very

Where does it come from? - Simple, the empire is known as the Zaghai due to its establishment by the Za Dynasty, which is undisputed. Sunni Ali, founder of the Empire is the son of Za Yasibay / Yasiboi. The Za / Dia Dynasty are the founders of serveral kingdoms in the region, the Gao Empire and

This article needs inline citations with references. As far as Mali being greater, I'm not sure about that, I just think it had more history written down. Songhay was the greatest and largest Empire in African history, before Morocco came in. The Empire fought off a lot of outsiders, before it

While my knowledge about prehistoric africa is clearly lacking, this article contains some statements which seem dubious and should be backed up by sources (actually there is a lack of sourcing throughout the article). E.g.:

The Za Dynasty, like many dynasties is of mixed origin, including Berber. This is not an implication but a fact. People did not live in isolation but mixed in this region. Just as the European Royal families are mixed and
